Just joined the unemployed queue

[Linflas]

Well it finally happened. I was given my notice this morning that I am officially laid off. The contract I was working on ended abruptly February 20 so I have been frantically searching for another job inside the company but no such luck. Anyone need a MS systems admin type in Northern Virginia? I know someone looking for a job now.

Sorry dude! I hope you get over employed soon!

 

[StageLeft]

Goodluck!

Worry not. You may be unemployeed, but GDP is up! economic projections are up! The country will be fine!

Seriously though, good luck. I was in that situation a couple of years ago and it sucked. Hopefully the DC area won't be too hard to find work in.

Heh I will be working by then even if it is wearing a headset and asking "Would you like fries with that Sir?". :beer:

Good luck in your future job search. Were you a full-time employee or a contractor?

Nope. A job is not always a job. MOST new jobs pay less then 50K a year and a lot even less then 30K. So even if someone does find a new job it will probable be less then what they use to make or will have to move to find it.

I am still looking for a job in the Raleigh / RTP area.


But good luck on teh job hunt, and welcome to the club

Full time employee. I have been with the company for 6 years this month and this was my 2nd contract. When the first one ended I spent about a month on the bench before the last one came along.
